0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Hendrix Genetics BV is a leading multi-species animal breeding, genetics, and technology company specializing in sustainable and innovative breeding programs for various animal species including poultry, swine, and aquatic animals. The company positions itself as a key player in the animal protein value chain, emphasizing sustainability, animal welfare, and productivity. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and a professional design that supports their market leadership claims. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and is hosted on Amazon CloudFront CDN, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms implemented, though the absence of explicit security headers and a public security policy are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall professional web presence and active content suggest a legitimate and established business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and monitoring domain registration status to improve trust and compliance.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Hendrix Genetics operates in the manufacturing and biotechnology sectors, focusing on animal genetics and breeding technologies. Their business model is B2B, serving producers and stakeholders in the animal protein industry globally. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem, including subsidiaries like Hypor and Danish Genetics, which were recently merged under their swine genetics division. Their growth is supported by sustainability initiatives and innovation in breeding technologies. The company maintains a professional brand image with consistent messaging and active engagement through news, events, and social media channels. Revenue streams likely include genetics products, breeding services, and technology solutions. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the website suggests a controlled communication approach, favoring contact forms and official channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness perception. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a corporate website but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve site security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact details to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Monitor and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and business credibility.
  4. Enhance data protection practices by appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact information if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Modernizr, hosted on Amazon CloudFront CDN for optimized delivery. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with efficient use of images and scripts. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, supporting user privacy choices. Technical risks are minimal but include the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data which could impact trust and compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
